What are peptides? What are they used for? And are they safe?

Peptides are short chains of 2 to 50 amino acids held together by a peptide bond. Peptides are like “mini proteins” that binds to target receptors and act primarily as signaling molecules that deliver instructions to specific cells and tissues. These powerful molecules are administered commonly via subcutaneous injections for maximum absorption through the blood stream and to bypass breakdown in the digestive system, however there are some peptides formulated for oral use.

Despite the lack of clinical trials and long-term safety data, why are peptides in such demand? The bottom line is that peptides show clinical benefit, the mechanism of action of peptides are generally well known, and animal models show promise. There are many peptides being used for improved performance and recovery from sports injuries, longevity and mitochondrial repair, and for collagen boost for skin and hair loss.

🌱January’s herb blurb focuses on an extremely common and overlooked garden herb, found right in your yard. The dandelion, Taraxacum officinale, plant itself has a variety of medicinal properties, many relating to the whole herb, but a few specifically to different parts of the plant such as the leaves and the roots.

🌱As a whole, taraxacum is a highly nutritious plant with high levels of antioxidants such as vitamin C, vitamin K, beta-carotene, and bioflavanoids. It is packed with B vitamins, minerals (potassium, magnesium, calcium, iron) and fiber (prebiotics for your gut), which can help with bowel regularity, reducing cholesterol, and blood sugar regulation.

🌱Dandelion leaves in particular, are natural diuretics, and can help with lowering blood pressure. It is also high in polyphenols, which help reduce inflammation in your skin and blood vessels. The leaves and roots also have anti-microbial properties that help support your immune system.

🌱Dandelion roots are known for their liver protecting properties. It can help reduce fatty deposition and oxidative damage to liver cells. Rat and cell line studies also show that root extracts can slow the progression of breast, liver, colon, stomach, and prostate cancer, which is highly encouraging.

🌱So instead of spraying these plants with w**d killer (which you shouldn’t be using anyway for your health), you can harvest them instead and make yourself a highly nutritious salad with a cup of medicinal tea to wash it all down.

“To live longer, healthier lives, we must understand the difference between strategy and tactics,” Dr. Peter Attia ~ Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity.

🤯Most people’s treatment protocols fail before they even start because they jump to “tactics” rather than perfecting their “strategy” for their health.
Strategy provides direction, and tactics execute the plan. Both are required for success.

🧠STRATEGY is what your health plan should be based on, i.e., the correct diagnosis and detailed map of how to implement your health tools to reach your health goals. TACTICS are your health tools, such as diet, movement, supplements, medications, etc.

💪Perfecting your strategy is the most important ~ and hardest ~ part of a health plan, but most people skip straight into tactics and end up floundering in fad diets, unrealistic exercise programs, and a shopping bag full of expensive unsustainable “miracle” supplements from some online subscription program.

⌚️Focus your time and resources and/or get the right help to develop a sustainable strategy to direct your efforts. The bottom line: you can’t short-cut your way to successful health outcomes.

🎯Does this hit home? For those who are reaching your goals, how have you been able to perfect your health strategy?

✨️I read an excellent article on “Why Reflection is Key to Ending the Year Strong” from Fern Gorin, P.C.C., L.M.F.T., as well as practical steps to create a successful new year. As we step into another year, I hope these exercises help to guide your 2026 goals.

She writes that reflection allows you to:
✨️Celebrate wins, no matter how big or small.
✨️Learn from mistakes and setbacks.
✨️Identify patterns in your behaviors or results.
✨️Realign your priorities for the coming year.

Activities to Deepen Your Year-End Reflection:
1. Create a Gratitude List
List things, people, or moments you’re grateful for this year. Gratitude boosts happiness and shifts focus from what went wrong to what went well.

2. Write a “Dear Future Me” Letter
Write a letter to your future self, summarizing this year’s highlights and intentions for the new year.

3. Visualize Your Successes
Look back through photos, journals, or calendars to relive achievements and milestones.

4. Complete a SWOT Analysis
Take a look at your Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats, both personally and professionally.

5. Set an Intention for the New Year
Based on your reflection, you could choose a word or phrase to guide your actions and mindset for the next year.
